Transforming Scottish Education Through Technology (TranSETT) Project

The TranSETT project, which is funded by the European Social Fund (ESF), ran from June 2008 until May 2009. In March 2009 SQA was approved for an additional £1.2m GBP of European funding to continue this project. This additional funding has been secured until 2011 and will allow SQA and its partners to continue this exciting development.

The TranSETT project will enable a number of high uptake National Certificates and National Progression Awards to be enhanced through the creation of e-assessments and web-based learning and teaching materials.  A list of the curriculum areas we are proposing to develop materials for can be accessed here. (21 KB) These materials will be available early in 2011. There will also be an extensive training and support programme for staff involved in the development and use of materials. 

We are working in partnership with Scotland's Colleges to take this work forward. The responsibilities of each partner are:

E-assessment and Learning and Teaching materials

The e-assessment resources being developed will either be for summative or formative use by learners through the Solar e-assessment delivery system (www.sqasolar.org.uk). The summative e-assessments will be pre-verified and guaranteed on delivery, providing real benefits for learners and learning providers alike.

The e-learning and teaching materials, which are being developed in partnership with Scotland's Colleges, will be available through their digital repository. The respository holds all Scotland's Colleges materials, the BlenEd project materials, COLA and other collections and member materials. 

The resources developed during the first year of TranSETT will start to become available for centres to use from August 2009 onwards, supported by a series of dissemination and training events. 

A list of all materials available and in progress can be accessed here (28 KB).
